Documentation

B R

NIS-Elements Documentation software provides a totally integrated solution for users of Nikon and other manufacturers' accessories by delivering color documentation capabilities that include basic measuring and reporting. The software optimizes the imaging process and workflow, and provides the critical element of integrated documentation information management for system based microscopy.


Automated Imaging

High-resolution images can be created with the precision of NIS-Elements Documentation large image stitching feature. In addition, an Extended Depth of Focus (EDF) option is available to allow images from different Z-axes to be combined into one focused frame and viewed as a virtual 3D or stereovision image.

Key Features:

Large Image Stitching

NIS-Elements includes remarkably accurate large image stitching capabilities, allowing the capture of ultrahigh resolution images. Capture and stitching can be completed with or without an automated stage. Large image stitching is a useful tool for the common occasion when the sample or area of interest is larger than the field of view of the camera. If it is not optimal to decrease the magnification, a large image stitch is a robust solution.

EDF (Extended Depth of Focus) Option

EDF allows images that have been captured in a different Z-axis to be combined, creating an single all-in-focus image. Once the all-in-focus image has been created, it can be viewed and rotated as a virtual 3D image as well as displayed as a stereovision image. EDF also has an option to re-align images acquired through stereomicroscopes, correcting for parallax shift. Optional plug-in modules are available that allow the creation of an all-in-focus image from a series of Z-axis image stacks providing 3D modeling capability and a multi-dimensional image viewer. The EDF module generates an image that incorporates the focused portions of each image from a Z-series of images. In addition, Real-time EDF is also available. The module saves time as it builds the focused image as the image is acquired.
